About & info
How it works
The Guide is our free, hand-picked read on London: where to go, where to find your people, and what’s worth your time right now. We write it ourselves and keep it current. Every pick is checked by us; we use tools to help with research, never to decide.
Save anything you like and it stays with you across devices. The Recommended sort reads the time of day, the weather and (if you allow it) roughly where you are, then re-orders what you see. It never hides places.
Trust & safety
No ads. Our picks aren’t paid placements, and nothing is in the Guide because a brand paid for a spot. If that ever changes for a particular place, you’ll see it marked as a Partner.
We keep analytics anonymous, we don’t sell your personal data, and you can export or delete your account at any time from Account settings. Saved places are private to you unless you choose to share a list.
Zero tolerance for child sexual abuse or exploitation. You can report anyone or anything you share or see. We review every report and act within 24 hours, and serious cases go to the authorities.
Accessibility
We aim for legible type, strong colour contrast, large tap targets and full screen-reader labelling. Text scales with your device’s font-size setting. If something’s hard to use, tell us. We treat it as a bug and fix it.
